Hi James,

    That is fantastic work that you do. 

    I especially like your hummingbird. 

    I would love to know the sequence how that piece was made.After you
    designed it did you carve the bird out of wax and then cast it? I
    assume the beak holds the whole bird up.Is the beak reinforced? Did
    you enamel the entire bird at once or does a piece like that get
    assembled later? 

    Also the crystal flowers fascinate me. Did you first carve a model
    and then carve them from the rock or did you just carve straight
    into the stone? Are there any other pictures or descriptions
    available to drool over?. So many,many more questions I have and at
    the risk of prying, how long did it take you to make such a stunning
    piece and (ahem) just more or less,(slight blush) the price for
    something like that? 

Beautiful,beautiful work,
Hans Meevis
